NLUS Mission:

The Navy League has set forth the following objectives:

• To foster and maintain interest in a strong Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine as integral parts of a sound national defense and vital to the freedom of the United States.
• To serve as a means of educating and informing the American people with regard to the role of sea power in the nuclear age and the problems involved in maintaining strong defenses in that age.
• To improve the understanding and appreciation of those who wear the uniforms of our armed forces and to better the conditions under which they live and serve.
• To provide support and recognition for the Reserve forces in our communities in order that we may continue to have a capable and responsive Reserve.
• To educate and train our youth in the customs and traditions of the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine through the means of an active and vigorous Naval Sea Cadet Corps.

The Navy League Supports the Sea Services by:

• Educating government officials and American citizens about the importance of strong sea services and important naval issues.
• Sponsoring the Sea-Air-Space Exposition, the largest maritime exhibition of its kind, as well as other forums addressing sea service issues.
• Communicating defense issues with more than 70,000 military personnel and civilians through our award winning magazine, Seapower.
• Hosting national awards programs to recognize the exceptional service of active duty and reserve personnel.
• Assisting service members in their transition from the military into private sector employment through the Navy League Hiring Center at http://www.navyleague.info.
• Contributing more than $600,000 annually to our nation's youth through support of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet’s Corps.
